The membership of the East Midlands AWP is detailed in Appendix 1. This Annual Monitoring (AM) report provides sales and reserve data for the calendar year 1st January – 31st December 2016. The report provides data for each of the sub-regions in the East Midlands, which are as follows: • Derbyshire • Leicestershire • Lincolnshire • Northamptonshire • Nottinghamshire • Rutland • Derby • Leicester • Nottingham • Peak District National Park, which incorporates areas within Sheffield, Barnsley, Kirklees, Oldham, Cheshire East and Staffordshire It is not a policy-making body, but is charged with data collection to facilitate planning by Mineral Planning Authorities (MPAs), national government agencies and the industry, and to inform the general reader. Crushed Rock • Total Crushed Rock Sales of 28.11mt, up 22% on 2015 figures. • Total Crushed Rock Reserves of 1,306.46mt, up 0.65 % on 2015 figures. • The Crushed Rock Landbank (based upon 10 years average sales) is 55.49 years, up from 54.79 years in 2015. Land-won Sand and Gravel • Total Land-won Sand and Gravel Sales of 6.95mt, up 0.81% on 2015 figures. • Total Land-won Sand and Gravel Reserves of 60.90mt, down 13.5% on 2015 figures. • The Land-won Sand and Gravel Landbank (based upon 10 years average sales) of 9.14 years, down slightly from 10.126 years in 2015. 3 Landings of Aggregates • Little or no material has been landed in the East Midlands for aggregates purposes. Sustained demand for aggregates in the coastal belt is relatively low and navigable coastal wharfage is effectively limited to Boston. • Wharfage is also available at Gainsborough, Sutton Bridge and Fossdyke but none of these sites are equipped for landing aggregates. Total aggregate sales, reserves and landbank During the 2016 monitoring period total aggregate sales increased from 29.89mt in 2015 to 35.07mt in 2016. This is the second highest sales figure in the past 10 years and brings the region closer to the pre-recession levels. There has been a gradual increase since 2009 (except the low in 2012) with a marked increase this year with crushed rock sales showing a 17% uplift form 2015 figures. This brings total aggregate sales to 6.99mt below the annual guidelines1 for aggregate provision of 42.06mt. Total aggregate reserves increased from 1,342mt as at 31 December 2015 to 1,367mt with increases in both sand and gravel and crushed rock reserves. Aggregate crushed rock sales, reserves and landbank Sales of crushed rock aggregate increased from 22.99mt in 2015 to 28.11mt in 2016, the highest recorded sales figure since 2008. Sales of both limestone and igneous rocks increased from 2015 level, with a significant increase seen in Limestone sales. Total reserves of crushed rock aggregate increased from 1,274mt in 2015 to 1,306mt at 31 December 2016. These differences are due to reappraisals by operators and new permissions. The crushed rock landbank for the East Midlands as at 31 December 2016 was 55.49 years, in excess of the “at least” 10 year requirement of the NPPF. Landbanks for the sub-regions are detailed in the Table 4. Aggregate sand and gravel sales, reserves and landbank Sales of land-won aggregate sand and gravel have increased slightly from 6.90mt in 2015 to 6.95mt in 2016. Reserves of land-won aggregate sand and gravel were 60.90mt as at 31 December 2016, down from 70.46mt in 2015. This figure does not include sand sold for non-aggregate purposes. The sand and gravel landbank for the East Midlands as at 31 December 2016 was 9.14 years (based on 10yrs sales). Landbanks for the sub-regions are detailed in table 4 and table 4a for Lincolnshire specific area breakdown. 1 National and regional guidelines for aggregate provision in England 2005 - 2020, Communities and Local Government, June 2009 4 East Midlands AWP Annual Monitoring Report 2016 Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ....................................................................................................................................................... 3 1.

    Former workings in Jurassic ironstone near Grantham Geoffrey Warrington Abstract: The Lower Jurassic Marlstone Rock Formation was formerly worked for ironstone near Denton (SE Lincolnshire), and the Middle Jurassic Northampton Sand Formation near Hungerton and Colsterworth (SE Lincolnshire) and Saltby (NE Leicestershire), southwest and south of Grantham. Two ammonites from the Northampton Sand Formation at Hungerton are illustrated. Four ironstone quarries near Grantham (Fig. 1) were below the Whitby Mudstone Formation (formerly Upper visited during an excursion from the British Association Lias). The ironstone, a slightly calcareous sideritic ore, meeting in Nottingham in 1966. One, at Denton Park in was greenish-black when unweathered, and whitish or SE Lincolnshire, was worked for the Marlstone Rock grey-brown when weathered. Cross-bedding indicated Formation (Upper Pliensbachian – Toarcian; formerly an easterly transport direction, similar to that recorded the Marlstone Rock Bed). The others, at Colsterworth and Hungerton in SE Lincolnshire and Saltby in NE Leicestershire, were worked for the Northampton Sand Formation (Aalenian; formerly the Northampton Sand Ironstone Formation). The lithostratigraphic nomenclature follows Cox et al. (1999) and Carney et al. (2004), with equivalents used in older literature given in parenthesis at the first mention. The Denton and Hungerton sites are now infilled, but exposures remained at Colsterworth and Saltby in 2008. Photographs taken in 1966 record a once- important extractive industry in its last years. (All grid references cited below are [SK]). Denton Park Pit, in Marlstone Rock The history of working at Denton Park [857317], the most easterly of the quarries in this formation in the Woolsthorpe area, was documented by Tonks (1992).

  • The Welland Valley Partnership River Improvement Plan
    The Welland Valley Partnership Enhancing the River Welland Our invitation to support a new vision for the local environment January 2013 Foreword The Welland Valley Partnership - Working Together for a Better River The River Welland arises above Market Harborough and flows through the gently rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland until it reaches Stamford where it is one of the features that makes the town so attractive. Below Stamford the River continues on its way to Market Deeping and Spalding, where its character changes and the water slows down to become one of the four fenland rivers which drain the Fens and finally enter the Wash. People have relied on the Rivers for thousands of years for water, food, transport and energy; as a result the River Welland and its valley have changed enormously. Even the course of the River Welland has moved; it used to flow through the Trinity Bridge in Crowland, but now runs almost a mile away and the bridge is a dry monument in the centre of the town. Figure 1: Trinity Bridge at Crowland. This triangular bridge once provided a crossing place over two channels of the River Welland. (©Dave Hitchborne and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Licence) 1: Trinity Bridge at While many of these changes have been beneficial, such as the creation of water meadows which were an important feature of the English countryside, others have had unintended side effects. For example, land drainage and the extensive dredging of the River upstream of Stamford have left us with an over-widened and over-deepened channel with little of its historic character.

The site is currently occupied by the former Montagu School, now known as the Buccleuch Academy. Many of the current buildings will be demolished and a new academy built to the east of the current school site.The Roman town of Kettering lies just to the west of the site. Much of the town has been destroyed by quarrying and modern housing developments and little is known about the form of the town. Ironworking appears to have been a principal part of the economy and there are numerous quarry pits and ironworking sites, some of which lie adjacent to the current development area. The south-western corner of the site has been identified as having potentially national archaeological importance. The town is not thought to extend much further westwards into the remainder of the site.The Cytringan Saxon Charter Boundary lies to the south of the site and may extend into it; the boundary may have been formed by a double ditch and central bank.

  • Northamptonshire ICV Annual Report Apr19-Mar20
    Northamptonshire Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) Scheme Annual Report April 2019 – March 2020 1. An introduction to police custody in Northamptonshire There are two Custody Centres in Northamptonshire; the Criminal Justice Centre (CJC) in Northampton and the Weekley Woods Justice Centre (WWJC) in Kettering. Both centres are modern new builds with the CJC opening in 2012 with 40 cells, and the WWJC opening in August 2017 with 22 cells. Between 1st April 2019 and 31st March 2020, 10,863 detainees were held in both custody centres in Northamptonshire. In terms of vulnerability, 1,043 (10%) of those were under the age of 18, 4,073 (37%) had mental health issues, 1,502 (14%) required the support of an Appropriate Adult, and 991 (9%) required an interpreter. 2. Introduction to the ICV scheme The Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner has a statutory duty to operate an effective Independent Custody Visiting Scheme in the county. The scheme allows for volunteers to visit detainees in custody to check on their welfare and that they are receiving their rights and entitlements. It offers mutual protection to detainees and Custody staff by providing independent scrutiny of the treatment of detainees and the conditions they are being held in. The success of the scheme is due to the ongoing commitment of the volunteer Independent Custody Visitors, and the Northamptonshire Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner would like to thank them for their hard work and dedication. There are currently 20 ICV volunteers in the Northamptonshire scheme.10 of those visit detainees held at the CJC and 10 visit detainees held at the WWJC.

The estate passed to Thomas Jackson Esq in 1691 who acquired further land within the parish. In 1798 his grandson, also Thomas Jackson, acquired the manorial rights from Lord Exeter. During the mid 19th Century the family invested their wealth from their fenland estates back into the village buildings and particularly the development of the manor house at Duddington.

  • The Arctic Lite Guid
    THE ARCTIC UTE GUIDE TO GLIDING "If you visit a gliding club on any sunny summer morning, you are likely to see lots of pilots with maps in their hands and intense expressions on their faces. They will be getting their gliders ready for take-off and may well be pouring gallons of water into their wings or muttering incomprehensible gliding jargon into their radio microphones. Very Strange! "If you watch one of the gliders get airborne and follow it closely (binoculars help) you may be able to spot when the pilot starts circling. Within a few minutes the glider will have climbed away until it has become a dot in the sky a few thousand feet up. Then the circling stops and the pilot sets off on course and rapidly disappears from sight. "Just about when you are enjoying your picnic tea, you may notice the same glider come in to land. The canopy opens and the pilot steps out, takes off his parachute and stretches himself hugely. He needs to because he has been cooped up in his cramped cockpit ever since you saw him disappear five or six hours ago. And in that time he may well have flown 200 or 300 miles following a route that he decided after listening to the early morning weather forecast. It all seems quite incredible and maybe a bit mystifying. "This Guide to Gliding has been published in collaboration with Arctic Lite lager who have given considerable financial support to the British Gliding Association for which we are most grateful.

  • 5.0 Viking Way Denton Prohibition of Driving Order
    Report Reference: 5.0 Regulatory and Other Committee Open Report on behalf of Paul Coathup, Assistant Director (Highways & Transportation) Report to: Planning and Regulation Committee Date: 10 April 2012 Denton to Skillington, The Drift / Viking Way - Subject: Proposed Prohibition of Driving Order KeyDecision decision? Reference: No Summary: This report details the background to and objections received against an Order prohibiting driving along a section of The Drift / Viking Way between Denton and Skillington. Recommendation(s): That the objections are overruled and the order as advertised be implemented. Background 1. The Drift is an ancient highway that follows the boundary between Lincolnshire and Leicestershire. It also forms part of the long distance footpath known as The Viking Way. A section of The Drift between the A607 and Saltby airfield passes through King Lud’s Entrenchment which together with The Drift in this area forms part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). 2. The Drift / Viking Way SSSI in this location was designated because it is one of the best remaining examples of limestone grassland in Lincolnshire. 3. Sections of this area had, in the past, deteriorated but following discussions with Natural England and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, and an extensive scheme of restoration works was undertaken funded by Lincolnshire County Council Highways Department. Works included removal of areas of scrub, felling of some trees and re-establishing the calcareous grasslands. This was in accordance with Lincolnshire County Councils duties under the Wildlife & Countryside Act, that is, to take reasonable steps to further the conservation and enhancement of Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

  • Wildlife Site Survey for North Northamptonshire
    Wildlife Site Survey for North Northamptonshire Prepared by The Wildlife Trust BCNP December 2006 1 1. Executive Summary. The Wildlife Trust for Northamptonshire has been commissioned by North Northamptonshire JPU to review and update the County Wildlife Sites (CWS) schedule within the Authority Areas of Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby and East Northamptonshire in order to guide development proposals within the area and inform the production of the Local Development Framework. The current work has re-assessed all CWS and also a number of PWS within North Northants but outside of the Rockingham Forest area during the summers of 2005 and 2006. All CWS and PWS that matched or exceeded the revised criteria, and all CWS within the Rockingham Forest area (surveyed in the last 5 years) were included on the current County Wildlife Site register. 123 CWS covering 1757 ha were assessed and a total of 380 CWS now occur within North Northamptonshire and cover an area of 7761ha. It is therefore recommended that all CWS identified on the Mapinfo layer are included on the appropriate constraint maps in the Local Development Frameworks. 62 PWS covering 1214.6ha were assessed and over 400 sites are now highlighted as Potential Wildlife Sites in North Northants. We recommend that these sites highlighted as Potential Wildlife Sites (both red and blue boundaries) are included in the appropriate constraints map and recognised as opportunities for the delivery of Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity Action Plan targets. In total 52 CWS (398ha) were denotified to PWS. 37 of these were denotified due to lack of up- to-date survey information.
